A Body That Works

One woman longs to be a mother, but she can’t carry a pregnancy to full term. Another woman, in desperate financial need, is able to grant the gift of life on the other’s behalf.  Their hopelessness unites them but their transaction is far from simple. The two women must let go. While one’s dream dies, the other must give up control over her body for nine months.

Our take

An intimate and sensitive series exploring an often-controversial topic: the bond between an infertile couple and the surrogate mother carrying their future child. Starring in the role of the father is Judah Levi, a winner at Series Mania 2022 and a member of this year’s jury.
